Aaron Makelky — HS Football Coach on Overcoming the Challenges of Culture-Building

In the Season 2 finale, I speak with Aaron Makelky.

Aaron has served as a head high school football coach for 12 seasons in Wyoming, assistant for 4 seasons, and has also coached wrestling, basketball, and track. He is currently consulting with sports teams and elite individuals who want to learn mindset and mental conditioning skills.

Our conversation covers:
  • How to determine the culture you want to set and how that’s evolved for Aaron during his career
  • Who helps to build the culture?
  • How to develop leaders within the team
  • The challenges that make culture-building “easier said than done”
  • Developing mental toughness, leadership and other skills
